Volunteer drivers are needed to help get one of the county’s charitable organisations out on the road.
Chrysalis has bases in Wigton and Carlisle and provides support for adults with disabilities, particularly those with learning difficulties.
Its Chrysalis on the Road campaign will see a fabulous new van hitting the streets and enable the team to work out in rural communities.
This week is National Volunteer Week and the organisation hopes to use this opportunity to find suitably licensed people who can spare a little time to drive the van.

Clashes between police and attendees of a vigil for Sarah Everard were distressing and alarming , the policing minister has told Sky News.
But Kit Malthouse insisted the under-pressure Metropolitan Police commissioner, Cressida Dick, should not resign over the force s handling of events.
Her officers have been heavily criticised after the ugly scenes on Clapham Common in south London on Saturday night, during which police were seen grabbing several women and leading them away in handcuffs.
Dame Cressida will be attend a meeting of the government s crime and justice taskforce on Monday to look at what further action can be taken to protect women and girls and make sure streets are safe.
The Holocaust and its impact has reverberated through the past decades, and has lessons for us today.
Twenty-one years ago, in January 2000, the senior leaders of 46 countries met in Stockholm to discuss Holocaust education and remembrance.
They signed the Stockholm Declaration, which became the cornerstone for remembering the Holocaust around the world.
The declaration said that “the Holocaust shook the foundations of modern civilisation” and that it “must have a permanent place in our nation s collective memory”.
The then Prime Minister Tony Blair returned from Stockholm and set up Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK.
